Just a few hours ago, Pablo Lijó confirmed that he would not be able to compete in the second Challenger of the season due to illness. The absence of the number 2 seeds has led to a series of modifications in the Order of Play, which we show you just below.
Padel World Press .- Runner-up in the Challenger Memorial José Martínez, both the young Galician player and Jordi Muñoz wanted to end their adventure as comrades trying to fight for the conquest of the title in Portuguese lands.
An inopportune illness motivated Pablo Lijó to announce his absence in the tournament and, with this, there were a series of changes in the composition of the first round of the Portuguese event.
To begin with, it should be noted that Ale Galán-Juan Cruz Belluati became the seed number 4, so they will not have to compete in the sixteenth. His previous rivals, Diogo Rocha-Antonio Luque, already know that they will face Aris Patiniotis-Cristian Germán Gutiérrez.
On the other hand, on Wednesday 24 of May, at the 13: 00 hours (14: 00 in Spain), the winners of the Preview C will be the faces with the pair that wins the draw of the 'Lucky Loser',
No other variations of the 'highlights of the day' suffer and, therefore, Willy Lahoz-Maty Marina will play against Raúl Díaz-Raúl Marcos, while Borja Yribarren-Guga Vázquez will face Javier Escalante-Toni Bueno. In turn, Martín di Nenno-Lucas Campagnolo will cross paths with Gonzalo Rubio-Víctor Ruiz, Matías Nicoletti-Salva Oria will have as rivals Juan Restivo-José Rico and Fernando Poggi-Uri Botello will meet Ernesto Moreno-Andrés Britos.
